Is your Houston air conditioner performing efficiently?

May 20, 2016

Do you feel like you have to constantly adjust your thermostat to stay comfortable? Does your air conditioner make noises? Does your air feel stuffy or damp? If any of these issues are getting in the way of your home comfort, it may be time to get your air conditioner serviced. All air conditioning systems require routine maintenance to maximize performance, maintain efficiency and ensure safety. Most air conditioning systems should be inspected by an expert every spring to ensure that the system is operating correctly and safely. With proactive maintenance, you can save money on utility bills and increase the life span of your air conditioning system. Why is it important to have regular maintenance on my home comfort system? You wouldn’t buy a brand-new car and expect to never have to put air in the tires, change the oil and check out any unusual noises, would you? In the same way that an automobile requires periodic maintenance for optimal performance, a home comfort system should be regularly inspected by a qualified technician. Air Bourne Air is committed to providing the highest level of air conditioning services for our customers. We build on the foundation of quality equipment from...

The Indoor Coil

April 3, 2014

We think that part of customer service is educating our customers. The more you understand about your air conditioning and heating system, the better you will feel about decisions you make in regards to equipment and maintenance needs. This is the first of several blog posts to educate on basic heating and air conditioning facts. What is an indoor coil? To answer this, we need to make one point about air conditioning clear: A home cooling system does not pump cool air into your home. It removes heat energy from your home. This may sound elementary, but it affects everything you understand about equipment. When the air conditioner turns on outside, it compresses a gas called refrigerant. When compressed, this gas turns into a chilled liquid, and is pumped inside via small, copper tubing. If you go out and look at your unit, you’ll see the insulated tubing running inside your home. The chilled refrigerant is sent to the indoor coil, which is a series of metal tubing. How the cooling happens. Once the indoor coil is filled with ice-cold refrigerant, the fan motor in the air handler (or furnace) pulls warm air from the home. The air is forced...

Common AC Problems

March 31, 2014

Air Bourne Air Can Help With Any A/C Problem An air conditioner is what helps all of us make it through a hot, humid Texas summer season. Sometimes, an older air conditioner will cough and sputter in the summer heat. Why? There are many things that can affect your air conditioning system. Below are a few common issues: 1) Dirty indoor coil: Indoor comfort is all about one thing: moving heat energy. An air conditioner compresses refrigerant which chills it. The chilled liquid is pumped inside to the indoor coil, and this coil absorbs heat energy from the air (which cools your indoor air). This indoor coil can become dirty from airborne contaminants and mold, which will hinder cooling performance. 2) Broken condenser fan: The air conditioner expels the heat energy absorbed inside into the outside air. If the fan in your air conditioner fails or can’t keep your equipment cool, your air conditioner will break down (similar to your car overheating). 3) Thermal expansion valve: This valve regulates the flow of refrigerant in your air conditioner. Too much refrigerant or too little refrigerant are both scenarios for disaster. 4) Older units: If your air conditioner or heat pump is old,...
